Description

The ice-covered Qufim Island sits directly north of the Grand Duchy of Jeuno. Traditional access to the island begins as a long tunnel that lies beneath the Sea of Shu'Meyo, beginning at Port Jeuno and opening up onto the frozen surface of Qufim, near the cliffs. Due to its being so close to Jeuno, adventurers often use this place to further hone their skills and prepare for dangerous battles by seeking out the Gigas and other monsters that make their homes here. However, the undead come out at night, often sending less experienced adventurers running to find safe haven until the light of day.

Points of Interest

"Worm Lake" at (H-7), a popular exp camp for quickly leveling from 19-22, since there are worms and crabs available. The only drawback are the three Bogies that spawn around the icy lake in the center.

yes, id say if your bind will stick then yeah, or if your not too confident with that, you could try worms. However if blm is your first job that high then its not likely your magic skill level's are that high so id suggest stickin to some dunes mobs if you wanna solo, ie the harder gobs. hope this helps :)

I hate this place more then Valkurm Dunes. From Jeuno to Delkfutt's entrance you HAVE to go through the small passage and if you're lucky a higher level player would have cleared away the weapons, if not, better have Silent Oils and Prism Powders (not sure how weapons aggro) then you need to go to a fork in a road which won't make any difference, either way in day, Giants are roaming around along with more weapons. At night Banshees and Wights will slaughter you if you're not careful. However on the bright side, I was once invited to a party in the Champaigne area from 19-21 we took on Diving Beetles for decent exp. That's just saying there are alternatives to Qufim but it is the popular spot.

Here in Qufim it is sometimes hard to get a good party. You have to experiment with strange mixes if you ever want to get fighting. The other day my Paladin was invited to a party. The setup was 2 BLMs, 2 PLDs, WHM, and RNG. Needless to say it was a great party. We were chaining clippers at an incredible rate and it was fun, too. While you usually dont have much of a choice in your party unless you are VERY patient, this is a very good party setup. I recommend to anyone looking to chain and level as fast as possible, so pretty much everyone ^^.

I just found out you can solo Giga's Leech for some insane exp without party. I managed to get a Chain #2 and 200 exp as level 21 samurai; no food, no 2hour, no pl. You can pull the leeches off the giants without giant agro, just be careful as the other leeches will link.

Pulling Leech: Use a ranged attack if you have one, although provoke works as well. Make sure you are outside Giant agro range, and that there are no leeches around.

Killing Leech: Fairly easy; Whenever my ranged attack hit it grabbed 1/4 of the leech's hp, and Tachi: Enpi ate half. I didn't hit it very often though, and my high delay was a real bother. Monks or Warriors should have even less trouble beating these puffballs, or even a wellequipped thief.

The only problem is that these are fairly hard to find, but compared to worms they're fast and easy exp.

My guide to Qufim: Compared to the hell that is the luck i have with valkrum... this area has always been comparativly easy for me... not cake... just easier (sp? lol) ... lvl 24 always seems to get me though... couldnt find a pt for 4 days even as a rng! but that seemes to happen at lvl 27 as well... mabye just me?

Giddeus Key: higher lvl yagudo in giddeus(never saw that coming, did you? Difficulty: Easy (1st try for me, getting to where these guys are is kinda hard though)

Palbourgh Key: higher lvl quadav (w00t)in palbourgh (yes, confused you again!) Difficulty: Medium (took 2 1/2 hrs, got my key in like 20 fights but the guy who was helping me didnt get his till the last fight i was going to be able to do before i logged)

hopped this helped any newbies starting quifim/ leaving qufim and wondering what to do...
